    Poolside Chat Episode 21: Suction, Pressure, and Robotic Cleaners

    “Do I need an impeller lock screw to secure the pool pump impeller? -Douglass in Colorado Springs, CO Well, we get this question all the time because most new motors do not have the internal threads for a lock screw. So, when pool owners get a motor, they’re a little concerned that their impeller lock screw has nowhere to go. But, we’ve discussed this with pool pump manufacturers and they’ve advised us that the impeller lock screw is no longer necessary for most pump designs because the new impellers will not dislodge for the motor shaft. So, toss the lock screw. Well, there are some exceptions (a more in-depth explanation) because there are some old pumps that still need to use a keyed shaft as a joiner between the impeller and motor. You’d have to check to see when you’re replacing your impeller or pump motor to make sure you have the external threaded motor shaft. Make certain do not need that impeller lock screw before you throw it away. But if you do have the outer threads, or the external threads on the shaft or the motor, you can toss that impeller screw because it’s a redundancy. If you want it in there, you can have it in there, it’s not going to affect anything. It’s not going to make your pump, pump more or less water. It’s kind of a safeguard.

    Episode 20: Should I Fix My Cracked Filter Lid?

    This is Poolside Chat where every week we answer your questions on how to fix and maintain your swimming pool. Poolside Chat is presented by INYOPools.com, helping pool owners find the right parts since 2001. In today’s episode of Poolside Chat, Rob and Matt tackle another common swimming pool question: Should I Fix My Cracked Pool Filter Lid? “I’m thinking of trying my own pool filter repair because, I have a crack in my filter lid. Is there anything I can do to patch it?” - Chris from Kalamazoo, MI Well Chris, we don’t recommend patching cracked pool filter lids because patches lead to blowouts. The patch and the no damaged filter lid under too much pressure and if for some reason that patch loses its integrity while you’re not home, the resulting crack (possibly, now bigger) could drain your pool. If the pool’s main drain is open it could drain your pool completely or it could possibly drop below the skimmer, then your pump will be running dry which will ruin your pool pump. So we don’t recommend trying to patch it. I know some people have used J-B Weld or other types of epoxies, but we just don’t recommend it. The chances of you being the lucky one to get a cracked pool filter lid to last a few months are there, but not likely.

    Episode 19: Pool Cleaners and Shock: Do They Mix?

    Question of the Week: If I leave my automatic pool cleaner in the water while I shock it, will the pool shock damage my pool cleaner? - Anonymous In the long term, leaving your pool cleaner in the water while you shock your pool will shorten the lifespan of your automatic pool cleaner. When you shock your pool, you are boosting your chlorine parts per million (ppm) from 2-3, all the way to 10-12 ppm. Chlorine in its normal dosage has the ability to dry out, fade plastics. when chlorine levels reach pool shock levels it quickens the process of breaking down the pool cleaners plastic,. Protect your automatic pool cleaner, remove it from the water when shocking or adding any heavy doses of sanitation chemicals. If you have any more questions about automatic pool cleaner parts, you can always contact us at 877-372-6038 or visit us online at www.INYOpools.com.

  7. Episode 18: Should I Replace My Motor Bearings?

    Episode 18: Should I Replace My Motor Bearings?

    Should I replace my pool pump motor bearings on the motor or should I replace the entire motor?" - Kane Well, Kane, that's really up to you. Because replacing the bearings isn't the easiest thing to do. If you're a handyman or a mechanic, it might be something simple. But if you're an average Joe, may be above your skill level. So my suggestion would be to replace the motor and if you have some free time maybe buy the bearings and work on your old motor, but at least you'll have the new motor to put in there and get working right away. First off, you have to have the right tools, because as I remember when we shot that "How to replace your Pump Motor Bearings: Part One, Two" guide, we had techs work on it. And we had to make sure we had all the right tools like the bearing puller. The whole process took a couple of hours, it wasn't fun. The kicker is, we replaced the bearings on a new motor. If that motor had been five years old, then it would have been even harder to change out those bearings because of corrosion and parts becoming brittle due to age. I can't imagine if I was just a regular pool owner and thinking "Yes, I'm just going to knock it out in an afternoon." It would not be feasible Also, when it comes to motors, I would say anything over five years, just buy a new motor. Because when it comes to replacing the bearings it's a Band-Aid, and not a true long-term fix. If you replace bearings on an old motor, you may be in the same position in a year from now. So unless you want to keep spending 80 bucks to keep replacing bearings, I would just replace the whole motor. Also, when you get a whole motor, you're going to get a whole new warranty. You get a one year warranty, so you don't have to worry about that at least. If you have any more questions about pump motor parts, you can always contact us at 877-372-6038 or visit us online at www.INYOpools.com.
